Champagne

In addition to being the home of the world’s most celebrated wine, Champagne’s location to the east of Paris has placed it at the center of momentous events. Visitors can discover a grand historical heritage, from the triumphant victories of Joan of Arc and Napoleon to the 20th century battles of the great World Wars. The extensive vineyards date to Roman times, but it was the discovery of effervescent wine in the 17th century that made Champagne recognized around the world as the symbol of celebration.
